Dear Sir
Under cover you will receive the declaration of the widow of Robt Ganthony and for the amount of pension money due him. Mr. Ganthony was, at the time of his death, in the United States Court, and he made his own declaration. The proof of his service will appear, as I believe, in your former letter to me, and from the files in your office. No human being, who knew Mr. G., would have questioned his statement, and the declaration set forth the same as made to me, by himself. Please have this speedily attended to.
